Wilderness First Aid is different from the Red Cross or urban
first aid. Focus is on initial and prolonged care for a
patient in the back country. Participants will receive
a two year certification with the Wilderness Medicine
Institute of NOLS (http://wmi.nols.edu).
WMI of NOLS courses are for folks who recognises the
importance of having first aid skills if you spend time in
the outdoors. We have climbers, trekkers, paddlers,
blueberry-pickers, parents, teachers, outdoor guides, scout
leaders, fishermen and hunters – all learning about how to
care for an injured or sick friend.
Below is the schedule for the Wilderness Medicine Institute
